Edit Existing Assignments

You can edit assignments that you created or assignments that have been shared with
you for collaboration using group permissions.

Important: Do not change assignments that your
students are already working on. You are likely to cost your students points,
submissions, or both. Instead, consider creating a copy of the scheduled assignment
and making your changes to the copy.

If you must change a scheduled assignment,
notify your students of the change and rescore the assignment. See Rescore Assignments.

To edit one of your assignments:

List your assignments.

You can list assignments in several ways:

Click Assignments > My Assignments to list all of your assignments.

Click Folders and navigate to a folder to list
assignments that have been filed in the folder, or to My Unfiled Assignments
to list assignments that have not been filed.

Click ClassView, and select your class if
necessary, to see only assignments scheduled to that class.

With any of these methods, you can click column headings to sort the listed
assignments.

Note:

If you have scheduled assignments in your classes that were created
by other instructors, you might not be able to edit them.

If you have scheduled or copied an assignment that contained
question updates, the original version of the assignment is listed
only for the classes to which it was originally scheduled. The
updated version of the assignment is listed in your My Assignments
and Folders and for classes to which it was later scheduled or
copied.

Click edit for the assignment that you want to change.

Make your changes to the assignment, and then click
Save.

Question Updates
From time to time, WebAssign provides updated versions of existing questions to provide enhanced functionality or enriched content or to correct a problem.

Review Changes in Updated Questions
When editing an assignment with available question updates, you can review the differences between the original and updated questions before you update your assignment.
